Ratings a bit mixed up

Dave, I know you weren't really involved in the whole ratings debate, but it does seem a bit annoyingly mixed up at the moment. I'm not sure if it's still a work in progress and who is working on it, so not sure where else to post. Anyway, here's the ...

Harmony Remove – How to send keyboard keystroke?

I am trying to do what should be simple as pie: send a keystroke (letter "O") to my android box. I have the Harmony configured to work with my Android Box (Minix X8-H), play, stop, directional, all work. I've enabled "Text Entry" and paired "Harmony K...

ListItemAbsolute(0).Label broken?

Hello, I want to get the *first* item of a list. I'm trying to do this with "ListItemAbsolute(0).Label". This InfoLabel works for all items but the first. As soon as I pass "0" as the Index, I always get the selected item and not the absolute first ...

Audio Issues

I have been running Ubuntu for a couple of years, starting with 14, I think. I was running Ubuntu 14.04, and I recently upgraded to Ubuntu 16.04 and installed the Krypton beta. Ever since then, I have been having weird audio problems. TV and movie play...

Core i7-6700K can not do UHD HEVC?

Hi,

using a 1080p display with a Core i7-6700K at stock clocks paired with 32GB dual channel DDR4-3000 memory, running Xubuntu 16.04 with the following PPAs:

https://launchpad.net/~oibaf/+archive/ub...cs-drivers
https://launchpad.net/~wsnipex/+archive/ubuntu/vaapi
https://launchpad.net/~mc3man/+archive/ubuntu/mpv-tests
https://launchpad.net/~team-xbmc/+archiv...mc-nightly

With VAAPI enabled, playing back the following file for example:

http://demo-uhd3d.com/fiche.php?cat=uhd&id=143

results in some hefty clored blocking artifacts throughout the entire playback. The playback itself seems to be smooth though (no stutter).

When disabling VAAPI (software decoding then probably), the artifacts are gone, but the framerate is horrible.

Same happens when playing it back via mpv.

What could that be?

Even if it doesn't work with VAAPI, a Core i7-6700K should still be able to decode UHD HEVC in software, shouldn't it?
